About TAT 2010
Thinking about 'Things' (TAT): Interdisciplinary Futures in Material Culture was a three-day international and interdisciplinary graduate student conference designed to explore material culture and the ways in which we create it, interact with it, use it, discard it, and study it. The conference took place May 10-12, 2010, at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Thirty-four graduate student presenters representing twenty universities in eight states and five countries and seventeen different disciplinary perspectives participated in the conference.
The TAT conference sought to engage graduate scholars from multiple disciplines and to provide a venue for traditional papers as well as alternative media presentations (TATart). Participation was welcomed from all disciplines and interdisciplines within the humanities, the sciences, and the arts. Check back for information about TAT 2011.
